  3. Find the right desiccant

Three questions. Then a shortlist.

Fifty-one products is a lot to browse when you just want to know what goes in the box. Answer these and we will narrow it down — and tell you why.

Question 1 of 3

What are you protecting?

Why these three

They are the questions that actually change the answer.

Scale decides the material

Silica gel holds 40% of its weight; calcium chloride holds over 200%. A carton and a container are not the same problem scaled up — they need different chemistry.

Target humidity decides the medium

Silica gel is efficient between 30% and 90% RH. Below that its capacity collapses and molecular sieve takes over. A dew-point specification is usually the tell.

Visibility decides the grade

Indicating gel buys information, not performance. It pays for itself on a breather or a warehouse pallet, and is wasted inside a sealed carton nobody will open.

Two constraints override all three: anything touching food needs SGS-certified food grade, and footwear, leather and textiles for export need DMF-free material regardless of how well anything else performs.
